Tech Trivia with Oluwaseun Oladeji, Community Associate at She Code Africa

As the conversation around women in tech continues to gain momentum, communities are playing an important role in helping women access opportunities, develop skills, build networks, and thrive in the technology ecosystem. 

Beyond technical knowledge, these communities provide mentorship, support systems, and pathways to leadership that empower women to navigate and excel in the industry. 

In this edition of Tech Trivia, we spoke with Oluwaseun Oladeji, Community Associate at She Code Africa, about her journey in community building.

Oluwaseun is a Community Manager with over three years of experience building and nurturing online communities, particularly in the tech ecosystem. She has contributed her expertise as the Social Media Manager for GDG Lagos and supported community initiatives at Wema Bank, and currently serves as a Community Associate at She Code Africa.

She Code Africa is a non-profit organisation on a mission to bridge the gender gap in tech by equipping African girls and women with digital skills and fostering economic independence.

With an active community of over 30,000 members, She Code Africa identifies as the largest women in tech organisation in Africa with members from across 20+ African countries, and local chapter presence in 30 cities & tertiary campuses across Kenya, Rwanda, Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia, Cape Verde, Malawi, Benin Republic, Algeria and Cameroon. 

Oluwaseun is an alumna of the YALI Regional Leadership Centre Program (Cohort 47) and a scholarship recipient of the Lagos Business School x Lagos Business Sustainability Program (Nonprofit Leadership and Youth Academy). 

She was also recognised as Community Manager of the Year (2026) by the No-Code Tech Awards in collaboration with Tredford. Outside of work, Oluwaseun volunteers in open source communities and enjoys writing.

1. Summarise your mornings in one sentence

I start my mornings with Bible study and Daily Manna, then I review my Trello board, plan my tasks for the week, and share progress updates with my team asynchronously or in meetings. 

2. Describe your gadget setup

My setup is simple but intentional: a laptop for execution, reliable internet, a notebook for ideas and reflections, and an award on my desk that reminds me why consistency matters. I keep showing up every day now. 

3. What tech tools/ applications do you use the most for work?

Trello for task management, Google Workspace for collaboration, StreamYard for sessions/events, and Substack for content and newsletters. 

4. What do you do when you need inspiration?

I take a step back from screens, reflect, pray, read, and sometimes explore conversations or content from other community builders and creators. I also journal my thoughts, revisit past wins, and allow quiet time to reset my focus and creativity. 

5. What mobile application can you not do without daily?

X (Twitter) keeps me updated on tech conversations, community trends, and what people in the space are talking about. 

6. What tech solution do you wish someone had created?

What I wish existed is a simple at-home hair styling solution that understands my hair type and face shape and helps me switch up styles easily without needing a stylist all the time at home, no hassle.

7. If you have unlimited time and money, what problem would you solve?

I’d focus on expanding access to education, tech, and career opportunities for women and young people in underserved communities so talent is shaped by potential, not gender, geography or access. I also wish for tools that make learning and growth more practical, inclusive, and easy to use anywhere. 

8. Which woman in tech inspires you the most?

Erica Kuhl inspires me the most. She has shown that building strong communities can shape products, careers, and entire ecosystems globally, proving that community-first thinking drives real impact more.

9. Which profound statement inspires you the most?

If they don’t give you a seat at the table, bring a folding chair. — Shirley Chisholm. It reminds me to speak up, take initiative, and create my own opportunities wherever I find myself.

10. Whose women in tech trivia would you love to read?

I would love to read more about Kimberly Bryant, founder of Black Girls CODE. I would love to read about her decade-long journey in building pathways for young Black girls in tech and the challenges behind scaling that impact, and how she continues shaping tech today.
